Segway has given its fans a brand new transporter in the shape of a robotic butler. It’s a smaller personal transporter compared to a traditional Segway. Being AI-powered, this self-balancing machine can auto-follow its owner, avoid obstacles and has a personality to boot. Think of it as your own personal sidekick.
Loomo responds to voice commands like ‘Loomo, follow me” / “Loomo, let’s go” and has facial recognition capability too.
You’ll be able to take photos and record stabilized HD video with its internal 64GB hard drive. More importantly, it gets from point A to B with relative ease.
You won’t be blitzing through places, though, as it tops out at 11 mph in vehicle mode and 4.3 mph in robot mode.
With a battery capacity of 329kWh, it has a range of 22 miles on a single charge.
To navigate, its infrared and ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles, scans its surroundings in 3D and converts the data into 2D.
Currently running on Android SDK, Andorid and iOS smartphone users will be able to download an app to remotely control their robot over a Wi-Fi network.
You’ll also be able to view your surroundings and speak to passersby through Loomo’s speakers. Cool, huh?
With a price of US$1,799 but an early bird offer of US$1,299 via Indiegogo, you would be the very first to get your hands on your own personal R2-D2.
The difference is, this time it’ll be able to carry you too.
